Roch: Hardy's Shoulder Injury

[Bahama O's Fan]

I honestly think we could have sustained the loss of Hardy, if we had Schoop and Flaherty. It's amazing that our offense has still been good with all three of them missing.

[Aristotelian]

Per Roch, Hardy and Flaherty will be starting rehab assignments. Expected 3 games each (but JJ could take longer). They will almost definitely option Navarro. The second move is a "mystery". Option Flaherty or Cabrera, or pass Lough or Paredes through waivers. No good option, but Cabrera seems the most expendable now in my opinion.

Someone will get "hurt"

Yeah, this looks like it's got DL written all over it for someone.

Cabrera and Navarro can easily be optioned

You've lost your mind if you think Paredes is getting sent down, or even worse if you think he's getting through waivers.

Cabrera hasn't been all that good. He gets optioned along with Navarro. With Hardy's shoulder issues I fear we'll need him again this season.

Now that we know that Pearce can play a passable 2B, we send Cabrera down. Flash can fill in for JJ short term if necessary.

Three in a row -- option Cabrera. .221/.235/.247. Second worst OPS on the team behind Lavarnway.

[Bahama O's Fan]

Yeah, I'm in agreement here. Hardy to SS, Flaherty to 2B and Pearce is your backup 2B and will play there is Flaherty has to go to SS. You can DL Hardy or Flaherty is needed and bring Cabrera back up.

I said during spring training that Flaherty was the utility fielder on this team, and got a lot of heat from the anti-Flash crowd and the Cabrera gang.

My thoughts at the time, Cabrera was insurance for an INF injury.

We were lucky to have such a good shortstop with Hardy out.

Upgrade over what they had last year for depth, but not exactly sold that he would be an idea candidate for long term play.

If Hardy were out all year, I'd be fine with that option.

I would feel better if Flaherty comes off the DL.

Personally, I perfer having a gold glove at SS, and sorry but Cabrera isn't close. But, at least, he is average defender, which puts him better than Jeter with the glove.
